On Wednesday night’s “Big Ten Basketball & Beyond: Tournament Edition,” Penn State coach Patrick Chambers was in studio to break down the Big Ten’s four Sweet 16 matchups and talk about his Nittany Lions. Watch Chambers on set now and see our Q&A with him in this post.

The dust has cleared and only 16 teams are standing in the NCAA tourney—four of them are Big Ten schools. The league more than acquitted itself in the opening three rounds of the Big Dance, forging a 10-3 mark from the seven teams that competed.

Just as BTN/BTN2Go did through the early rounds of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, we’ll be airing live coach and player press conferences for all Big Ten teams and their opponents. Want to watch Indiana’s Tom Crean discuss Thursday’s matchup with Syracuse? Curious to see what Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim thinks of the Hoosiers? How about what Ohio State’s Thad Matta and Arizona’s Sean Miller have to say? We’ll have it all on Wednesday.

Five Big Ten teams remain alive in the postseason. There’s Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tourney, and there’s Iowa in the NIT quarterfinals.
